Types of Water Heaters – Heating Elements

When we talk about direct and indirect water heaters, we are talking about the way in which the water inside the unit is actually heated. A direct water heater is generally more efficient because it uses combustion to heat water directly. An indirect water heater requires that the boiler be running whenever hot water is needed. Direct water heaters are also more responsive and provide faster heat up time.

Direct Water Heater

In a direct water heater, a heat source is built into the heater which generates heat through combustion. Various fuels can be used depending on the specific water heater – natural gas, propane, and electricity are all common fuels. These fuels are used to power gas burners or electric heating rods which transfer heat into the water.

Indirect Water Heater

An indirect water heater has no built-in heat source. Instead, indirect water heaters rely on boilers to generate the heat necessary to raise the temperature of your tap water. In these applications, the boiler heats non-potable water which is then used by the indirect water heater to raise the temperature of potable tap water on-demand.

Types of Water Heaters – Water Supply

Tank and tankless water heaters describe how hot water is stored once it is heated. Tankless water heaters are generally more energy efficient with a longer life span. However, tankless water heaters are really only suitable for low-demand applications where just a couple people need hot water at once. A tank water heater is slightly less efficient but much better suited to high-demand applications where hot water is needed on a large scale.

Tank

A tank water heater typically resembles a large cylinder – the cylinder is the water tank which is used to store heated water. In a storage tank water heater, water is held in the tank at a high temperature until it is needed. Many different tank sizes are available depending on the size of the building and the hot water demand.

Tankless

A tankless water heater has no hot water storage tank. These are also called instant water heaters or on-demand water heaters. These water heaters provide hot water as it is needed using a coil system, typically powered by natural gas, propane, or oil.
